It’s all about helping you with navigating the CSUN campus, bridging communities together and any other topic you wish to discuss. We are here for you.

Tuesday Talks (Tuesdays)

Tuesday Talks is a weekly LGBTQIA+ discussion group that provides a safe space for students to share their experiences and discuss topics facing the LGBTQIA+ community. Topics will be chosen by participants in attendance and may include: bisexuality, queer people of color, relationships, sex, gender identity, etc. Allies are more than welcome to attend to show their support of the community!
